dash cleaning

bde · 12-09-2013, 01:42 PM

I was wondering what some of you use to get rid of scratches on the soft vinyl panel of the dash?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I tried 6-7 different brands and now i use nothing else than this.... it works perfect and is not greasy and works antistatic....

I use it for maintenance,but you said...."scratches"...depends how deep they are ??? (maybe pics of it ?)
Anyway i'm sure it will be a lot better

So here it is ...........

Thanks! Will give it a go. Very light scuffs but they do give off a whitish tone.

Scuffs will be tricky to remove. If you try to polish them, you'll end up polishing out the texture of the dash which will look even more noticeable.

I'd suggest finding a local auto interior/upholstery place to take a look. Sometimes they can replicate the texture after sanding stuff down.

for maintenance 1z cockpit premium is the best thing I've ever used, and has an amazingly refreshing scent!!

Refreshing scent you say... I want some of what you're smoking!

Lol have you used it before? Has a nice lemon scent, nothing overwhelming just leaves a nice trail and wears off in a day or so.

Have not... Just messing around... I use the BMW cleaner, but am about to try something else, and will give yours a try.

If you want a cleaner/conditioner that has almost no odor and leaves a matte finish (looks like no product applied at all), try the Sonax Dashboard Cleaner.

I'll back the 1Z Cockpit Premium too. A lot goes a long way. It's a great product!
